If you haven't been to Home restaurant, I suggest you give it a try. I challenge you not to find something you like on the menu. Well, I say menu, I really mean menus. Lunch, dinner, skinny, vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, kids and pre-theatre- there's a lot to choose from!
Home originally started out as a pop up restaurant and proved so popular that it found itself a forever home in Wellington place. It has a New York loft feel about the place with dark wooden floors and high ceilings but while the space is airy and bright, the welcome is warm and welcoming with some very charming and attentive staff.
I visited recently with my sister, before a little jaunt to the Grand Opera House. The restaurant is very conveniently situated a short stroll away and their pre-theatre menu was the perfect choice for us. Personally I am a big fan of splitting starters so I was delighted when Diane agreed to share the Hummus, veggies and Foccacia crisps along with the Whipped Goats Cheese, Beetroot, Apple, Candied Walnuts, Chicory & Balsamic Syrup. To sustain us while we waited we both ordered a refreshing glass of Sauvignon blanc.
When the starters arrived, we agreed that while the hummus was nice, the goats cheese stole the show. The mixture of tastes and textures was a pleasure, especially the sweet, crunchy candied walnuts against the creaminess of the goats cheese,
For the main course, I chose the Char Grilled Chicken, Peperonata, Spicy Chickpea Fries & Salsa Verde while Diane opted for the Pumpkin Ravioli, Spinach, Sauce Vierge & Toasted Pine Nuts. I am a massive fan of chickpeas so loved these quirky little fries which were a great accompaniment for the chicken and salsa verde. Diane was equally pleased with her pasta. Although we didn't need them, we also shared a portion of sweet potato fries- simply because we fancied them.
We skipped pudding to get to the theatre on time but to be honest we really didn't have room anyway. All in all, I would declare our visit a great success. I will be back!
